History at Cardiff University will develop your knowledge and critical understanding of the political, social, economic, and cultural structures of past societies.
Wherever your passions lie, we offer a remarkable chronological and geographical range to inspire you. From the rise of ancient empires to 20th century Germany, the witch-hunts of Renaissance Europe to Revolutionary Russia, the Crusades to western encounters with modern Japan, our range of optional modules allows you to shape your degree to best suit your interests and aspirations.
In Archaeology, you’ll be introduced to the archaeology of Britain and the Mediterranean and can pursue specialist study in these areas. We also offer opportunities to develop proficiency in a range of archaeological skills, with practical and professional skills developed through a 4-week placement in your second year.
Criss-crossing a wide range of time spans and perspectives, our highly respected programme will cultivate intellectual skills such as the ability to assess different forms of evidence critically, to evaluate different interpretations of the evidence, to construct arguments based on evidence, and to express opinions cogently in speech and in writing.
Through our degree you will develop the skills advantageous in our digital age: creativity, empathy, critical thinking, persuasive communication skills and the ability to challenge and question
By combining Archaeology and History, you’ll gain a wealth of transferable skills and knowledge, and creative, critical and employability skills that are of crucial importance in an increasingly competitive jobs market, which open the doors to a variety of career paths.
The time spent on each subject is equally shared, allowing you to study the human past through material, written and visual evidence.
Building on your passions and curiosity, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise in the study of the periods and regions which interest you, ranging from prehistory to the twentieth century.
